ADO Den Haag welcomed back key-man Nasser El Khayati to the starting eleven after he missed the defeat to Ajax last weekend.

However, the midfielder couldn’t find a way through De Graafschap in the first half, with his strike on 33 minutes which went wide the closest either side came.

At the break, De Graafschap lost goalkeeper Hidde Jurjus to injury with reserve keeper Agil Etemadi coming on for the second half. He was called into action quickly to deny Elson Hooi who raced in on goal.

That proved to be ADO Den Haag’s best chance of a dull second half and De Graafschap held on for a point.

ADO Den Haag are 12th after the point while De Graafschap stay in 17th.
